My first two biab brews were Yoopers Oatmeal Stout, and Da Yoopers House Pale Ale. Both recipes are on this site and either one would be a good choice IMO.

So pretty. I have fond memories of walking in the woods behind my grandparents house where we would find many of these.

I BIAB and don’t have a mill and order all my grains from Ritebrew. They used to offer double milled awhile back, but now only single. I wish they still did double but I do use the single milled and my beer comes out fine.

Off to church this chilly morning , then zoom call with dear friend in SC. Will watch the Bills and Pats game, but as a Pats fan not too hopeful lol. Probably clean a kicked Dry Irish Stout keg to be ready for kegging a chocolate stout next weekend.

Left Right Center is fun, esp when eating and drinking. Doesn’t require a lot of concentration, no big learning curve. Can accommodate various amounts of players.

@Barão sorry for the delay, was swamped at work. My recipe was: 65% Pilsen 11% Victory 11% Caramunich 8% Pale chocolate 5% Blackprinz I used Wyeast 2124 for the yeast. For hops recipe called for Saaz but I had some Lubelski on hand so I used that. Came out really nice.

Be happy to, will look for it at home.

I’ve made Josh Weikert’s recipe from his Brew Your Best series, found online. One of my most favorite beers I’ve made.

I’m not good at posting photos, but enjoying a delicious strawberry rhubarb cider made at a local cidery which overlooks pretty Quabbin Resevoir. The proprietor is a charming lady, 97 years young!

I do stovetop biab and the grain bills for 2.5G batches fit comfortably in my kettle. I sometimes do 3G with certain grain bills that will fit. So for me I guess kettle size is the main factor. Also that’s a good size for drinking since it’s mostly me drinking it. I do sometimes bottle from the...

I’ve cut mine back as late as May 18 and been okay, although that’s not ideal timing I’ll admit. You may find adding some nutrients/fertilizer to the soil will give them a boost.

@Kickass your garden is beautiful!

Always loved Gordon Lightfoot. Another favorite from “Rainy Day People” - Rainy day people don’t talk, they just listen till they’ve heard it all.

Welcome! It’s a fun and interesting hobby, and I’m sure you’ll find a lot of helpful people and info here. Enjoy!

French martini in a lovely pewter martini goblet I got as a Christmas gift. May have to look into the beer pint mugs too.

@balrog I saw that too on my way home, parked in a field. Wondered why it was there.

I ordered from Craft A Brew in the past and was very happy with them. I used the 1G ones when first starting out, but they also sell 5G recipe kits.

I’m planning to brew it too, next week. Have the ingredients, just need the time, lol. Trying it with S04 for the first time.

I have a couple little BMBs, glass. They are a little more than one gallon in size and so provide enough headspace for my one gallon batches. I love the wide opening, makes cleaning easy. Mine don’t have a spigot so I use a mini auto siphon. Overall very happy with them.

I had it a year and a half ago, mild case. Lost my sense of taste/smell and it came back but some things still don’t taste right, hoppy beers being one of them. Just get an unpleasant bitterness that overpowers other flavors. Other things have a weird floral taste now, like some red wines...
